Rozz:
I think it's best to react silently if children are already involved,your reaction may cause a permanent damage to the children and it goes on and on

That is true. But why would a married woman with kids at home cheat? What reason could there be to justify it?

Rozz:
I was eavesdropping on some elderly discussion(men)today and heard so many things from this men of wisdom and decided to bring it here as well. It was a discussion about a man who stabbed his wife's concubine that she brought home while her husband was away,the man chased his wife's concubine naked round the whole neighborhood and everything became public,after the whole drama, the wife told her husband that she will deal with him for this big disgrace he has caused her, one of those men outrightly condemns the man's reaction and termed it senseless and dangerous.He was of the opinion that the man should have simply conceal the wife's adulterous act and end things with her peacefully as he could risk being killed by the wife which might take years for her to carry out her threat,but some of these men supported the man's action and it became an endless argument.Initially I supported the exposure as it kinds of bring emotional support for the man especially from his family,friends and even children,but I later began to reason with the other man who thinks otherwise.I feel affairs should not be exposed to children,familes and friends,it kind of create enormous suffering for the children psychologically and this children grows up with some kind of depression and anxiety and this becomes a torn in their strong emotional attraction and commitment to their spouse and family in future which in turn results to a permanent damage and broken homes,this becomes a norm in such family.So I think it's best never to expose an adulterous wife,it is not foolishness but wisdom.What do you think?

Dear, I'd say it'd depend on the strength of the relationship and the bond. God forbid that this happens to me, but if a woman I love deeply cheats and I see the possibility of forgiving her later, I'd certainly not publicize her atrocity. However, I will tell her closest friend and someone she look up to as mentor (if she has any). When you look at a home there is true love, a lot of things go unnoticed for the sake of what the couple came together to build and achieve.
But hey, I am not married and this is a mere opinion. I cannot with understand and feel the pain the husband in question felt, given that his experience might be deeper and painful than I can imagine.

DrLiveLogic:
Can you believe yourself? Did I not tell you I don't know you and don't wanna talk to you. Aren't you the one that mentioned me first and was tryna teach me the bible. Maybe if you don't mention me again I won't.
You'd do good getting that hypocritical, sulking, tantrum-throwing chip off your shoulder

A fool is known by his many words and never-ending harangue. With all your know-all dogmatic approach to this subject, what have you achieved on the JW members you have engaged? You're just an obtuse fellow!! You can keep mentioning me and bluster here and there, I'll not reply you. Goodluck on your asinine crusade!!!

Hey dude, don't ever mention me again. You can continue in your argument with those you think you are scripturally better than and win the souls of those you assume have been affected for not agreeing with your Trinity, but don't mention me. You've got the entire time in the universe to continue in your dogmatic crusade!

DrLiveLogic:
Who's that guy. LMAO. Definitely not me or even my type. He thinks I'm in an unnecessary argument? People post lies that can affect christians souls and you think it's unnecessary to reprove them. If you don't care about others, why care if we care? This is important for christians to be sure of what they believe before wolves devour them.
Thought Rozz was genuinely interested in knowing truth, which I'm still wondering if she really is. She claimed no one ever wins JWs. LMAO. Imagine that, Smh. How can their glaring ignorance be lauded by anyone apart from their own.
Well I'm sure it's clear enough now that they know jack not even 3 simple questions can any single one of them answer, even the one that claimed to be a teacher, Smh. Was thinking I'd have to ask my more difficult questions. But if they can't do arithmetic, why should I even give them calculus. LMAO.
Got me thinking and I decided to post truth out and frm page84, till now on 100 and JWs still running and hiding from 3 questions of a cute kid. Not a single one of them would even leave a fingerprint on them. LMAO.
They probably thinking there's Covid19 on those questions. LMAO. See them all on lockdown now. LMAO. I thought lockdown's off in Nigeria.
Rozz even feeling so sorry for them now esp Maximus.
Obviously JWs will lose every argument against truth hands down cause lies never win truth and I'm just one of millions that can prove it. Whichever of them's in doubt should first answer my 3 questions. LMAO. I've got bigger ones coming.
Well, fairheart, you said no one should try convince you out of your falsehood and I ain't even gonna try, lol. Hold on to your sweet delusion and miss out on worshipping Jesus the Almighty, along with the elders and all angels.
However don't come here forming "I don't wanna do this" and then go ahead to quoting the bible. That's hypocritical and probably a cop out for not being able to handle the 3 questions.
If you ain't ready to do a thorough on the bible, then keep your hands off it and stick to your "heavenly dreams". About those too, I'll take John's open vision anytime than some anonymous guy's dream that contradicts. Like who knows what you ate before you went to bed. LMAO.
There are so many revelations of the throne of God in the Bible and not one shows a "smaller" throne on God's geographical right cause there simply isn't. Only one sovereign throne in the center of creation- the throne of God and the Lamb, all other thrones bow to this throne, so why should we care about your sleep diaries?
Who knows, could have been a figment of your imagination but then again that's your problem not ours.
You JWs are so lucky, I've been engaged. I got so much in store for you that I'm considering doing a thread on your delusions. I just want you all to exhaust your lies while I trash every single one of them out here for good. Then I just might find the time to open that thread so you'll have nothing you can say there. If Rozz is really a JW mole, I'm still somewhat suspicious, she and all of 'em will be regretting this thread when I'm done with all their lies here and I'm ready to do a thread of mine. LMAO.

@Rozz, you're suspecting me. I'm suspecting you too. LMAO


LMAO. Ya think. And boy, do I love your signature. LMAO.

Rozz:
you people made it a big deal to show face and I followed suit,i think I have actually showed my face when I newly registered,nothing happened to my face,we are all hiding our faces. It's even sweet that way,so you can do and undo lol

Right, it is all good.

Rozz:
lol its understandable for ladies,but what will a guy be hiding except if he's into fraud.

You're funny. If it's understandable for ladies, the same can be said for guys. The same reason can be applied to you: why don't you put your full picture showing your face? We know you're the full package , but what happens to your face? You don't want to be too public, and you want people to be curious!

Marchenry:
Is it advisable to pay for the Sevis fee now?

Chill. Wait!

Onebabe:
You have to marry a. Person who is taller now

What if he won't love the taller lady as much as he loves his present girl?
And what if he finds a taller girl, but she doesn't love him and stay?
Then you also need to consider that taller girls want to date and marry someone taller as or than them, not short.

Spark2:
Hello fam,
This has been a concern to me in my relationship.

I am a short guy, I have a small body stature.
The girl I'm dating is about my height. She has tendency of adding weight if comfortable.

What will be your counsel to me?
If you were in my shoe, will you marry her?

NB: I love this girl so much

Oh well, I thought it's love that matters? If you are short and not build of heavy muscles and your babe of similar stature, please stay with her.
Do you by any means have a better chance of meeting a tall lady that you will love as you love your present girl and that will love you the same way? If you know you're not pleased with her stature and how build she will become in the future, let her go in time. You seems to have doubt as to whether she's and will be good for you in the future. As a man, you go after ladies that you like their stature. I think tall for tall, short for short, right? I am not sure

I understand that look and stature matters, but you have to look at the possibilities within your own stature here. I think where there's love, there is everything-- and soon enough, her height won't matter.

Rozz:
seems true,i think that's the reason most don't have Profile picture

lol...I don't agree. There are actually many handsome guys on Nairaland. I have seen some of them on video calls, and on their WhatsApp and IG profile.
I think most guys here don't like to put up pictures because it makes them "too public," and doesn't make other people curious; I removed mine for this purpose. Do try to meet people from here sometimes.

AmazingELixir:



Chineke God ehh!....what is diswan kwanu... see did PTSD patients claiming FBI source told her..

If the claim that he laundered monies for politicians is true...what is FBI concern with that if the money laundered is not to their country....Kemi is madt.

Shut up that shithole mouth you carry in your head . Kemi was the first person to break the news on Hushpuppi arrest; she was the first to mention they are being extradited to the US; she has said many things first, even with credible source than Nigeria's fourth estate.

If you can't support her lone journalism, at least respect her for her passion to keep Nigerians informed. If she has said hush is mentioning names, you better believe her!

Rozz:
Let me pretend to believe you,i wish you good luck in your search

You should believe me, because there's no point lying about it. Some guys are the best of their kind, though not so common

Rozz:
lol it was the way you made mention of 25.Ok do and marry that your fiancee,dont delay her further lol

I understand you. There's no fiancee or girlfriend yet, which is kinda weird for a man of my age, but I think it is understandable.
Some things come before the other for a man to find an ideal partner for himself. You know, horse before the cart?
As a man, when you have some important things laid out before you marry, marriage tend to be very sweet and become a source of blessings (and not trouble and chaos) to the couple. I only want to marry once and for a lifetime. I know this is idealistic, but I think it's worth it. My eyes and heart are open and I'm searching and taking my time.

Rozz:
wao,you are very right,so you are way above 25,its like I'm in the midst of too many elders here. God bless you and your family sir

lols! Come on, "sir" is not necessary please, and don't make me feel old,[edited] and I am not married please
But thank you!

Hey Rozz, how are you doing?

Your mention of me on this forgotten thread brings me here again - even though you should have asked me first if I am drlivelogic. Rozz, I am not drlivelogic o; I don't know him, and in fact, I am seeing his username for the first time.

More so, we have different views on the subject of Trinity, as I do not agree with his assertions on this subject (I did some light reading a few minutes ago).

To be honest, most of what you guys are exchanging on this thread seems like blank argument. What have you benefited, and who have you convinced to change their belief, and won over? What one man believes has nothing to do with another man's Salvation, which is the end goal of our faith and being a Christian. Have any of you asked: will my belief in Trinity or lack of it, save me?

I have engaged in this type of unnecessary argument when (almost a decade now), and I have to say it was and still futile. More so, the people commenting on this thread seems to be hardcore believers in what they believe, which means the group on the left will not be able to change the views of the group on the right on the subject of Trinity -- no matter how many Bible verses quoted by both sides. Y'all are wasting time.

Y'all should imagine if an unbelievers is considering becoming a Christian and they come here to find you guys disagreeing on the same Bible, on the same God, on the same Jesus, on the same faith. I must say there's no unity in Christendom, as denominations have pieced and pierced into our sense of unity. We should be ashamed!

If you believe in Trinity, so be it; If you don't believe in Trinity, so be it. God will not raise this single belief above what matters most and then use it to determine whether you will go to Heaven or Hell. We should be careful not to be like the Pharisees, who emphasis on things that didn't really matter in people's salvation but toyed with the weighty matters.

The side who believes Jesus is Jehovah Himself forgot to mention that the following is written in the same Bible:

Romans 8:34: Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Colossians 3:1 also said the same above

Matthew 26: 64, Jesus Christ Himself, whose words stand above others in the NT, said: Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Psalm 110:1: The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand,until I make your enemies your footstool. [Note that this is David seeing Jehovah God talking to His Son-the word of Jehovah God that was incarnated and made flesh]
Read the following: Hebrews 12: 2, Hebrew 8:1, Mark 16:19, 1 Peter 3:22, Hebrews 10:12, Acts 2:33.

Jesus Himself never said he's Jehovah God; it is infant Christians that drags his name in this position. In fact, he worshiped and worships Jehovah. drlivelogic should not be one of those picky Bible readers--the same thing the JW members (on this thread) he's asking unnecessary questions are known for. That the angels and elders bowed to Jesus upon returning to Heaven doesn't mean Jesus is now equal to God.

I am glad to say I have the gift of dream and small still voice. There was a day I saw a dream I'd never forget for the rest of my life. In the dream, I saw Heaven and its mysteries. I saw the throne of God (a giant throne at the centre surrounded by angels, and beings I was not allowed to see their faces (even though I tried over and over). Beside the giant throne was another throne, smaller and empty. In front of the giant throne was standing a man dressed in how the Bible reveals Jesus dressed throughout his life on earth (let me keep the rest of what I saw).
Now, every man's personal experience influences their faith and where they stand. A man who believes in Miracle will never agree with those who says there is nothing like Miracle. I have seen mystic Heaven in my dream, with two thrones as stated in the Bible, with the Son under the command of the Father. Someone will not tell me the Father is equal to the Son. Where? How? When? You better keep that belief to yourself, because any attempt to change "my personal belief" on this subject will be waste of time. Salvation itself is a personal thing, not a thing of group or which denomination one belong. So, drlivelogic and the JW members here, don't bother wasting your time. Both sides have made up their minds!!!

There is certainly the Father, and the Son. They are One in Will, aim, agenda, plan, etc, for humanity--because the Son is subjected to the Father. The Father makes the plan and give it to the Son to execute, which is why Jesus emphasized throughout his 3 years ministry: 'He sent me,' 'I speak for Him, of Him, about Him,' 'I say what He told me to say.' In order words, He was God's messenger to man!

If the Jesus Christ is Jehovah, then there's no need for two thrones; you simply need one throne -- for two equal Kings cannot rule in the same Kingdom. One must be superior. If Jesus is Jehovah, with the two being spiritual beings, one can just absorb the other. It is like a democratic setting: Federal, State and Local government. Will it not be madness to say State government is as powerful as the Federal? The Federal stands above every other level of government.

The entire Bible support that Jehovah God is One, and every other beings--including the Son, angles, elders, etc-- are subjected to the Father. Saying Jesus is equal to God makes us infant and heretical Christians, who lacks basic understanding of the Will and Power of God.

Mind you, I am not a JW organization member, and I do not have immediate plan to be. Truth be told, Trinity is heretic, and should be treated as such. You waste time exchanging words with people who have made up their minds on what they wanted to believe. Again, it is the least of those subjects we should even be allotting precious time on. We all should focus on being obedient children of God who will have access to that coming Kingdom of God. Everything else, is secondary, including your church, denomination, your pastor, etc. The priority is being obedient child of God. This is where the Devil fights all Christians the most.

Rozz, that is my own view on this subject. Now you have evidence that I am not drlivelogic

Sammiel:
I need an advice from the experts here. I was recently admitted for fall 2020/2021 with about 40% funding, but I would like to defer the admission to next year. My question now is which of the admission circles should I defer to for a better chance to retain my current funding and other considerations if possible?

Depends on your program and the school, but if your program department doesn't accept students in Spring (and they are not willing to relax this policy due to the pandemic and take in affected student for Spring), then Fall 2021 is your best shot. Also, contact your department to ask if you will lose your funding if you move your admission forward.
Meanwhile, you can also use the time to try other schools.

TWoods:
Sorry to say... Canada and the UK have had similar liberal immigration policies. In fact I’d argue that until 1990, the US immigration policy was far more insular, so exactly why aren’t those countries as powerful as the US economically?

While it is true that America gives an opportunity to recruit the very best around the world, the frank truth is that >98% of h1b applicants are simply average and no better than the average American. For every Elon Musk, we have hundreds of thousands of average economic migrants who simply use the H1b as an avenue to emigrate to the US.

Let’s not over-inflate the impact of the H1b because it makes us feel better.

Here is my last point on this issue... >85% of H1b holders are indian, if these foreign workers were so crucial to google, Apple etc. then please explain why India has not created its own version of those companies and simply provides cheap labor?

Your views on this issue, although correct to some extent, are nevertheless not all there is to say as the reason H1B workers are in the US. I still stand by my words. But yes, let's just forget it, because at the end of the day, America is not our Fatherland. Nigeria is

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have a Higher National Diploma and would love to do my masters degree, I'm told I could get the IL material for studying here. Please I need your help

Can you re-craft you question?

researcher107:
Thank you very much. I was going to write the feedback I got from the consular. "Your visa cannot be issued at this time but you're welcome to re-apply".

Will this be okay?

"I was told my visa cannot be issued at this time but and that I'm welcome to re-apply".
I think this is cool.

waynee2baba:
An Indian student with a PhD from MIT or Stanford returning back to India won't open up a job for some random high school graduate simply because he's American. The Govt. should look into consulting companies like Tata that abuse H1B visas. Let Trump continue so that silicon valley companies will expand their offices in Canada, Germany, London and Switzerland and Software Engineers in EU can start earning "blood money" like our colleagues in the US. Tech pay in EU is peanuts right now compared to the US. New grads in US tech companies will be sitting on 250k/year total TC compared to the misreable £65-85k in Europe for the same new grad role. Canada is even worse lmao.

From the tech perspective, Indians and Chinese go through rigorous education system and have built that work ethic to carry out extensive ground breaking researches in advanced areas like Machine Learning, Big Data and AI. You think an average American will put in such efforts? H1B immigrants work harder because they are usually threatened with being fired. The average American just wants to earn enough to pay bills, buy coffee and go on short holidays once every year. I'm not saying they're lazy but they have an idgaf attitude and are usually not committed to work compared to H1B workers. Heard of 996 in China?

Another reason America needs H1B is diversity. Diversity makes teams more creative and also contributes to better decision-making. CEO of Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Albertsons, MasterCard, Adobe and other top tech companies are Indians. Europeans and other nationalities came on H1B, got GC and created millions of jobs that employed Americans.

Majority of H1B immigrants don't even commit crimes because they're highly educated and just want a better future for themselves and their families. Like I said, I'm lowkey happy because these companies might expand here in EU and will boost our TC but you saying Americans don't need H1B workers is false. Tbh, with the recent happenings, most people of colour might just perish the idea of moving to America sef.

Police brutality here in the UK is lower compared to the US plus UK cops don't carry guns... only tasers and UK is bringing back 2 years and relaxing requirements for Tier 2 visa, students might start reconsidering tbh.

Trump obviously did this to make his supporters happy because of the upcoming elections.

Very sound perspective here.

TWoods:
Not true. Trump cannot ban the H1B visa simply because it is a law, passed by congress [Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H)]. Only Congress can reverse a law, a president can only tinker around it by issuing executive orders or via Agency regulations (these do not change the law but seek to interpret it as congress intended).

Secondly, it is untrue that America absolutely needs the H1B visa. The H1B visa as we know it came to being in 1990. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, HP were already in existence. America had already invented the internet, made it to the moon and was the world's most powerful economy. The idea that America needs the H1B is completely overblown and does not concur with reality.

I think I had the first paragraph in mind when I left that comment, which is why I said the President cannot ban it. I know H1B is a law, and I know it'll take Congress, and Congress will not do it because of its advantage to American organizations.

As for the second paragraph, look at the History of America and how it was developed. Don't forget, the US was built on the ideas and by the hands of people from all over the world, not merely Americans, but people from all over the world! And history have it that this is one of the reasons it became so powerful, influential and prosperous. I am sure you know this history.
Foreigners have always been part of that development, even foreign workers--before the H1B law was enacted!!! Companies that were founded in the U.S doesn't have monopoly on ideas or all-powerful when it comes to competition in and out of America, and that is why these companies always tap minds from other Nations. It is not because these organizations need foreign workers, say essential; it's because they 'want' or desire foreign workers, even beyond cheap labour as you stated. I think we are saying the same thing, but do not remove the importance of having a diverse workforce from this.

When the desire for something and having it (i.e taping the minds of people from diverse environment for stronger workfore and better output) becomes a source of strength for an organization, that desire makes what is desired a necessity. H1B visa is very important to US organizations, more than the so-called cheap labour they might be offering to these organizations, because no big organization will limit its workforce to its country of origin. If you doubt this, write to Google , Apple, or Ernst & Young and ask why they employ foreign workers!

Northeastern:
Aunty, how far have they gone with diversity within the US that international diversity would now be their focus? I stand by what I said o, most of the H1B jobs are only available because they don't have substitutes that are locals.

Before una continue dey argue, go and check the companies that get the highest H1B visas and see the sectors they service. Out 85k, the top 3 companies applied for 50k in 2020. I hope you guys know the guys and sectors those 3 companies service and who they hire.

I think LagosismyHome has some very strong points in her comment. It is not correct that no Americans can do those jobs. There are!
Diversity in workplace enriches it in so many ways that the image of the Data you posted did not reveal to you. There are even organizations in the US that made it a rule that they must employ foreigners on work visas, but not because there are no workers within the US that can do them, even well enough, but because having diverse minds in an organisation makes it strong to compete in and out of its field. You know why? All the people on H1B did not grow up in the US, which means, they have completely different orientation, perspective, insight, different ideas that Americans who grew up in America certainly didn't have--even when pooled in the same field.

Think about Google CEO, then Elon Musk, and other great minds in the tech sector in the US; these people did not grow up in America. I can tell you for a fact, and based on my own personal experience, if Elon Musk had not left South Africa in 1988, his life would have turned differently. The scope of ideas and what you contribute to an organization vision can be limited by where you grow up; a man who spent the first 30 years of his life in Nigeria will not have the same set of ideas, and energy for contribution--which is what drives all these giant organizations that employ people on H1B--if he grow up in America during the same year. Every organizations on earth are aware of this. Why do you think company in Nigeria would go to Indian, China, to look for potential manager, foremen, analyst, etc to fill a position that demands innovation? Because they want diverse workforce at the top rung, for wide and better ideas.

I'm also sure you saw the news of a Harvard professor Lieber that China secretly recruited? Why do you think China wants an American professor, ready to pay him so much? Because no professor in China that can fill the post? Na. It's because China cannot risk limiting itself to its environment. For that, having diverse mind in the field the professor is recruited to work is the answer.

By bringing foreigners to the US to work, these organizations are armed with diverse ideas from diverse people from different part of the world, deepening their root, and and taping into those minds to expand and compete.

For going to the US yourself, your level of knowledge and how you see life and your field has been influenced and expanded, and enriched.
If you are to return to Nigeria after studies for work, you will certainly have some edge over those who never left. What did that tell us? There are certainly Americans that can fill those H1B jobs, but an organization that really wants to expand its scope and influence, and not shrink, but compete in a world that INNOVATIVE IDEAS rule, will NEVER limit its workforce to its country of origin -- or it will suffer a lot of disadvantages. This is why it will be IMPOSSIBLE for Trump to permanently ban H1B visa! He cannot succeed in this area, because any attempt to stop foreign workers from coming to the US to work in those organizations will limit their ability to tap into diverse minds, from different countries, for such organization enrichment. This is how it works!

Good to know

TATIME:
I followed the whole conversation from the beginning until you started insulting him with style.
Someone told you this is our heritage so that you may not be highly disappointed due to misunderstanding our beliefs.
If i were you, i'll gladly welcome what Maximus told you with warm embrace.
Because it's what usually makes most of our friends like you become irritated when their expectations are shattered.
You referred to us as "brothers" and you may not know how deep that is to JWs, so in a bid to quickly alert you to future events that may seems like betrayal of trust when JWs later treat you like an outsider, a loving JW will not hesitate to make you understand the ponderosity of that word "brother" in our midst.
So instead of arguing with you he quickly quote Jesus words upon which such concept was built.
You said "it doesn't matter" well he responded "it (Jesus' word) matters to JWs"
So even if you're not OK with the idea, why not try asking other JWs sincerely whether this thing is true? But instead you began expressing your dissatisfaction without further research.
Well i'm older than Maximus though we met here on Nairaland and we've become closer than ever, we visit each other often and it's then he realized i've deactivated my moniker since i became an appointed servant in the congregation, i only login through my wife's profile when there's an ongoing discussion that interests me!
Let's forget the whole issue, if JWs don't take you as their brother in faith at least there are thousands of Christian groups that will gladly accept you as their brother!

Let me leave my last impression before I bow out from this thread.
First, apologies for making you and your Mentee feel misunderstood. I want you to understand that there are highly intelligent and exposed people on Nairaland. Some of them have been to places, meet people, read more books, etc than us; I have talked with some of them privately in since I opened this acct in 2009. As a JW congregation leader, you need to learn to tailor your views and teachings according to who individual is. Even if you have been teaching for 30 years, I see a room for improvement from the way you and your friend have engaged me. I am also learning myself. If you remember, I was plainly open in the first place. You and your Mentee started it, dragging things, creating a sense of seclusion, which I think it's habit among some JWs who portray the sect as a cult to those who are not strong enough to do independent research. Those are the people who say JW is a cult.

I think your Mentee should apologise to achorladey, and clear this once and for all. I think so.

You also need to do a better work at mentoring your Maximo. He needs to learn how to approach people and avoid abusive words and insult if he wants to be taken serious. I don't play where Jehovah's name is mentioned. I think you guys missed that from the way I touched each comment on your thread. You play with your beliefs and unbelievers will take you as a joke and unserious. If you wanna play, don't do it within the context of what God says and using His words. It is a serious matter.

That your Mentee is a father or grandpa doesn't change the way I see him (although I respect his age and the experience that might have come with it); he's still amateur JW, and he needs serious self-education and learn to tame his often-loosed mind when talking to strangers on social media. It is not everybody that can be pelted with insult. Using "sir", "sir" doesn't mean he respect anybody. Respect is fair attitude towards others, seeing them and talking to them as we would like them to talk to us. Simple. Tell him to learn that!

I don't normally comment on other threads until recently. What keeps me on Nairaland are the innocent students and friends in Nigeria and the US who are seeking to advance their education. I don't have time; in fact, I have class to attend to, and with short sleep I have had because of these comments here and there.

I really appreciate your time, and it was fun reading your comments on here. God bless you, and regards to your family!
There's no need to quote me again, as I will not be dropping any word on this thread again.

Maximus69:
OK, the young boy thought we are still searching like him!

He should have seen the discussion between Rozz and i, to know exactly what made me interested in the young lady.

This is really funny, Tatime (my mentor) on Nairaland in his early 20s!

Brother the table has turned o, henceforth you must address me with 'Sir' just as i use to do with you.

I'm now your daddy, Maximus69 ~ 50+, Tatime ~ 20+, thanks to fairheart!

Oh he's your mentor? No wonder he's pained.
Birds of feather. You guys are just so focus on pitching the girl against me. Don't worry, I will leave her for you guys, in case you or your brother wants her as a sidechick. I left your thread, una still follow me come here.

Rozz, please talk to your friends.
If truly they are old men, then I blame myself for having not asked about their age before I engage them. Can you talk to them to stop stalking me. and go back to their thread? If truly they are old men, it won't make sense anymore being here talking with them.

TATIME:
An intelligent person will read a report, try to meditate on such a report then think of what could have led to the incident, not only that, he will approach the accused to verify what really led to such event before running his own conclusion.
Someone just pasted another man's comment on social media, you never knew where he got it nor care to verify what led to it, the next thing is to carry it and paste again!
Maximus is my brother by FAITH and i even became a grandpa before him, but you are not good enough for this intelligent girl, emotionally speaking you're just too weak.

Oh, you are a grandpa? For real? A grandpa? Are you guys serious? You seem pained that I shared what the other guy said about your brother, but you were comfortable when he said the following words to me:

Maximus69:
you're now ranting behind and pushing your idea forward like a chicken.

Those were his words. Matthew 12:37 (ESV) "for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Our words reflect a lot about our personality as much as it reveals how we see other people and the world around us. I am a free-spirited person, meaning I embrace people and not easily offended--until you manage to trample on my self-worth. I respect all people. You and your friend doesn't know how to do that. You equally talk anyhow, not minding that the person you're talking to is a human being like you. This is social media, people can see who you are through your words. So, if truly you're a grandpa, I'm sorry you need to do a lot of self-education and learn social skills.
I'm not angry at you or your friend; I just don't have time for altercation or anything that will make me stoop and say things I shouldn't say. The guy that quoted him sees you guys for who you're; you have also offended him and your friend must apologize to him if he has any self-worth; another guy has quoted him in red on your thread. Can you guys just get over this please? If truly you're matured adult, you'd not have followed me here and keep this argument. What exactly do you want? I am not angry, and that how it is. I'm not offended, but there's no point asking your friend to clarify what prompted him to say the words in the attached picture when I have received similar abuse and rudeness from him. Mind you, age does not makes someone respectful and cordial; learning and empathy--seeing others as you are--makes them.
I am sorry, you're not a grandpa!
